Follow up A/S
Well, we went for our follow up A/S...and apparently this baby is polar opposite of how DS was in utero. DS was a crazy mover, but this baby appears to be pretty pokey and didnt want to move much for us!
The tech got everything she needed and said it all looks good (of course my doc will confirm she said), but unfortunately baby T's sex is still undetermined! At first she said "well I THINK its a girl but I can't get a good look" and then baby moved and she pointed out what she THOUGHT was a scrotum and penis, but she said due to the baby's position she can't be 100% sure.
So that's that I guess! Obviously, the end result we're hoping for is a healthy, happy baby, no matter boy or girl, but I gotta say, I'm a bit surprised at how bummed DH and I are with not knowing the sex, even though I know its definitely not priority. So I guess we'll be getting a surprise either way when I deliver...unless for some reason, I get another ultrasound between now and then!

Re: Follow up A/S
Im sure everything is fine, but its definitely ramping up my anxiety a little.
Because I'd pay for one of my sisters to find out.
It's definitely a bummer, but at the same time I feel kind of guilty for feeling that way, bc it really shouldn't matter whether we know ahead of time or not if baby is a boy or girl. Yes, we're eager to know, but in the same breath, I really just want confirmation from my dr that all looks well and baby is healthy.
Does that make sense? As much of a bummer it is to not know, I feel ridiculous for being bummed out about it. Bc either way I just want a healthy happy baby in the end.
I'm glad the little guy/gal looked good otherwise!

There’s a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
Without you I'll never make it out alive
But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

100 bucks to see your baby and relieve some anxieties is worth it. Team green is great. I was team green, but it's okay to want to know as well. If mom can afford it and you want to know, think of it as a special treat.
TBH, within a few weeks I'll be back at my OB for my next appt anyway and she'll be able to go over the ultrasound stuff with me to confirm all looks well and baby is healthy..thats my main priority. At that point I'll test the waters and she if she's willing to scan me quickly in the office. If not, maybe I'll take this as a sign that this baby is supposed to be a surprise for us I guess!
